    Summary

    When Colin Bridgerton returns to London for a social media sabbatical, Penelope suggests that he crash with her for the duration, however long it might be. Sure, she's been in love with him forever, and sure she has a full-time job, and sure she's a secret romance writer and nobody knows it, but she's really good at hiding things, so it should be fine, right? But when she also suggests that he work with her publisher, all of the secrets she's been so carefully tending start creeping into the light.

    Summary

    He’d been enjoying his time in Thailand but home, with its graveyard of brownery and Penelope (Penelope), inspired Colin to cut his trip short by a week. Besides, he had to know if Lady Whistledown, the lady palm proven impossible to kill, had finally received comeuppance for her addiction to talking shit.

    Mostly, though, he was resolved.

    Colin didn’t want to dance around this anymore. He ascribed to Harry Burns’ school of thought on romance and every moment spent trying to feign indifference felt like a waste. He was going home, and he was going to make her witness what she did to him. No more pretending.

    Summary

    “Penelope Anne Featherington,” he says, turning to her with hands on his hips, expression gleeful. “Did you break the bed?”
    She does her best impression of a dog who’s ripped all the down from a pillow. He can’t prove anything.
    “I did,” she says.
    Damn. There’s always been a disconnect between her mouth and her brain.

    or

    Penelope's bed breaks. Of course it's Colin who finds her.
